Press dates, having made illegal entry (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trespassed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'made illegal entry' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'press dates' is the wordplay.
'press dates' can be anagrammed to 'TRESPASSED'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'having' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for trespassed that I've seen is " had no right to be there".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
